“So what if Alisha plays with makeup? Aren’t Beckham and Ronaldo flirting with her sexuality on the field?”

Vicki Blommé, from C More, a Nordic pay television company, defends the Swiss international media from Aston Villa Alisha Lehmann to the many criticisms received before and after the World Cup due to excessive grooming while playing soccer. Blommé doesn’t understand that footballers are looked down upon when they aren’t. Or at least not with the same intensity.

“Yes, he’s playing with his sexuality, but they’ve done it many times. Look at Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo. I think makeup and personal grooming are seen differently than if a boy is doing her hair,” she said on her ‘Soccer Sisters’ podcast. “Many people think that it is meaningless, but it is also a feeling. The feeling of confidence and strong, there is something that. I think it is good that we are different and that we look at what we want. You get a little attention. away from football, but the same thing happened with Beckham.”

“There is nothing wrong with playing football with makeup, we need to stop blaming them.” Alisha Lehmann, 24, is the female soccer player with the most followers on social media. It reaches 20 million people and each publication it makes is worth about 90 million euros according to Gracenote, a service that provides metadata for music, videos and sports and technologies.
